Small fire chars inside of downtown business

A small fire charred the inside of El Abuelo, 147 Front St. N., a small Mexican grocery and convenience store, early this morning.

No one was injured.

A passing on-duty Issaquah Police officer was patrolling the area when the officer noticed smoke coming through the door of the building and a small flame through the window, said Josie Williams, a spokeswoman for Eastside Fire & Rescue.

The officer called for backup and then called fire services at 2:48 a.m., she said.

“IPD had officers block off the area,” Williams said. “They did a really good job calling it in really quickly and getting us in there, so there was as little damage as possible.”
